This last one with the bride in the air would have come out better if a better angle was used. The distracting automobiles at the bottom. At least with FF if you had to shoot from this angle you could have blurred the background out better for less distraction

I am extremely impressed with both sets, thank you for sharing! My wife prefers the sepia and I prefer the color but I know how hard weddings can be, and this is extremely well done!

I also agree that trying to achieve shallow DOF can cause more problems than is worth it sometimes when time is limited and the event can not be repeated. I love DOF as much as the next guy, but it can cause that sinking feeling when you get home and some shots are not as sharp as you had thought.

Not necessarily. I shot many weddings of couple that just signed at the official registry without any ceremony and the wedding day included just a party and photo session. It was still called a wedding.

I have. During the ceremony, in an effort to have enough DOF to get the bride, groom, and wedding participants all in focus.

I have shot about 200 weddings and never had to go over ISO 3200 even in the worst case of low light. I never had a problem in getting the desired DOF inside a church because if you are an experienced photographer, you should know how to do it witout going to ISO6400 in order to get everyone in focus even in a church.

Anyway, if this is your main concern, you'll be pleased to know thay in this respect, an OMD will have a clear advantage over a FF.

I didn't decide. They are clearly posing.

So what? That is just a matter of personal style and preference. Some prefer posing, others not and there is nothing wrong with either way.

Same here; both are nice, but the color ones are amazing IMHO. Very nice work!

I liked the stylized set but was skeptical that the photographer might have been masking equipment short-comings. The stunning unprocessed images proved both the equipment and photographer are professional. That makes me like the sepia toned images that much more.

I think Olympus will sell a few more 75 f/1.8 lenses because of this thread !!

I don't really care what you shot them with - they're really very nicely executed, regardless of the sepia PP (which I"m not fond of but hey, it's not my wedding!). #13 is the only one that annoyed me - and that's only because the cigar in the groom's mouth gave him a very strange-looking face.

It is rather artistic to post sepia, I enjoyed them more than the color ones. Again, I guess this is personal taste

Your talent would make me think to come back to Oly camp again - I am in Sony mostly now but still kept couple 4/3 m4/3 gears in case.

All in all, this is when a true photographer focuses on how to bring the best of the pictures for such important event, the equipment is less important to your sucess - I bet you can almost do the same WoW factor if you have a point-and-shoot camera.

Yes. This is the definition of a wedding. There is a difference between a wedding, and "getting married".

Yeah, like.. Hold on everyone! Mr. Preacher Man, could you please step three steps toward the couple so I can make sure you are in focus at f2.8? If I stop down I will be at ISO 6400 and I am an experienced photographer, so I know what to do here.

Stop! Could all of you bridesmaids and groomsmen please move up towards the bride and groom. I am experienced here!!

LOL!

I guess this is the one advantage of a small sensor. You can shoot wide open and still have plenty of DOF at a low enough ISO to be acceptable.

On the other hand a FF camera has similar noise at twice the ISO, so the advantage doesn't matter.

Not my main concern, I just want to see the OMD shoot a wedding.

I didn't decide. They are clearly posing.

I didn't say there was. Any camera in the world can shoot people posing. AF, metering and ISO is all up to the photographer when people are posed, and outdoors.

I am fairly certain that the photographer who shot these could do so with any camera.

Do people always run on your weddings indoor in the church? Or it is prohibited to use flash indoors not in the church? Or there is a problem to shoot @ iso 1600-3200 with OMD? Or you think that wedding should be without posing? Or you want to say that OMD is not capable to shoot action or moving people? Or you think that word "wedding" should be used only for photos with ceremony in the church?
